xterm can create decent screenshots in HTML or SVG format. The HTML
version essentially is one big <pre> using CSS and <span>s for
colors and other highlighting; the SVG version places characters at
their pixel-position on the SVG canvas.

I can reach those functions using Ctrl + left mouse button, "XHTML
Screen Dump" and "SVG Screen Dump". The files are called something
like "xterm.2022.08.18.09.23.33.xhtml"; not exactly sure where they
get created (home dir? working dir?).

So, if one of these output formats would be a step forward, and you
found a way to make an xterm window enormously large, and you found
a way to trigger xterm's "screen dump" function (if you don't want
to do that manually), then you could use Mutt running in the xterm
window...

Cheers, Marcus
